EBM - how much?

Hi ladies

I'd like to express so OH can give a bottle but I don't know much Freddie should be having? He's 14 and 1/2 weeks now.

Can anybody tell me how much?

Thanks

  • I saw a formula in a book somewhere which said you take your baby's weight in pounds and multiply it by 2.5 and 3 to get the range in ounces of what your baby should take per day in breast milk. eg if your baby weighs 10lbs they should take 25 to 30 ounces per day. Then you divide that by the number of feeds they have a day to get the amount for a single feed. I find my LO takes slightly more than that so add a bit extra just in case but it's a starting point!!
